Once I figured out how to work with
the paper-thin phyllo dough, this
was an easy winner, and could be
made a couple days ahead with no ill
effects. I doubled the orange zest
(would probably triple it next time)
and sprinkled ground pistachios over
the dipping sauce for a bit of
color. Served with clementines at
the end of a Moroccan-style dinner
for Christmas Eve Eve. It was a
great finish to Tagine Bil Kok,
Moroccan-spiced roasted vegetables
and Moroccan chickpea salad, all
from this site - rave reviews from
all the guests.

All I can say
is "WOW!!!" The
only thing I did
different was that
I sectioned several
oranges then
drained them and
served them topped
with the Greek
yogurt and honey...
that combined with
the wonderful
date "cigars" is
sure to be a
company pleaser!
Make sure
you buy the Greek
yogurt... it is
definitely worth it!

If you know your way around phyllo dough, this is an easy dessert. I used allspice instead of cardamom, and added a bit more orange zest. The amount of filling called for for each roll seemed excessive. I used less and the rolls were slender and elegant. I served them with marinated orange slices insead of yogurt and it was a great dessert combo.
